Default expressions for the copied column definitions will only be
copied if <literal>INCLUDING DEFAULTS</literal> is specified. The
copied if <literal>INCLUDING DEFAULTS</literal> is specified.
Defaults that call database-modification functions, like
<function>nextval</>, create a linkage between the original and
new tables. The
default behavior is to exclude default expressions, resulting in the
copied columns in the new table having null defaults.
